Because White Powder wasn't having a bitch at you, from the shadows, on his keyboard for once?
If it's not that then you got me.
Either that or you're not in the gang.

too much beer? concentrating on the empire?
Spending his 1200% margin?
Being a chav?
The list goes on and the mind boggles.

Right, I've watched this unfold over the course of the day, and kept my mouth shut until now but comments and accusations are going to lead me to defend the forum I love...here's my two pence...though I'm not gonna add too much to what @MrTeaTime has said as he has pretty much nailed it.
As for @junglist and @OccultScientist being complicit in any bullying whatsoever- I'm sorry but that's complete bollocks. Unlike many of you, I know them personally, and I know they would be horrified with being accused of being a bully. For any of you that also know them personally or have met them, I'm sure you will agree that they are the antithesis of a bully. Bullying is not tolerated on this forum and I see no instance of it here, only healthy debate and constructive criticism. Members are fully entitled to be disgruntled about anything that happens on this forum, if you don't like it- tough shit, suck it up buttercup, they are entitled to post their opinions. It's part of what makes this forum the fucking best out there.
Feel free to sport your snowflake badge proudly on another forum as if you are that sensitive towards an open and reasonably healthy (by POTV standards) debate, perhaps POTV is not the right place for you. Goes for anyone else who gets a little worked up by someone else's opinion- it's the internetz, it's an open forum, people can post them freely. POTV is a much more footloose and fancy free place than a lot of other forums out there and perhaps that isn't something you are used to, for that we are sorry, in fact no we aren't, we couldn't give a fuck, it's what makes us awesome
Now I do agree that Vic is a bit of a target given the frequency of his review posts and he's probably more of a target than others are due to his public standing in the community. His postings also draw more comments and interest than any other reviewer does that posts here- which is another good reason why he has drawn the ire of a few members here.
However, no one has bullied or forced @Victor1st to leave the forum. He isn't a target- no matter what he thinks about the whole industry being out to get him. That simply isn't true. This isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened, unfortunately for Vic this sort of thing surrounds him in the industry. If he has officially left the forum, that is of his own accord, if you can't take light criticism being a very public figure within the vaping community, perhaps you need to re-evaluate where you stand in it. I have no doubt this is a temporary attention seeking flounce, and we will see him around again once the inevitable drama has passed and been debated over a VLog. If you fancy contributing to the forum @Victor1st then I'm sure you will be welcomed back with open arms, your videos would be more appreciated by our members, and I have no doubt with your experience and knowledge you would be an extremely valuable asset to the forum. Plus you would probably find your subscriber base growing exponentially through our vast membership base, so an hour or so a day out of your no doubt busy schedule could reap dividends for both POTV and yourself. You've got to remember POTV is a much larger entity than you, flouncing away means you won't be missed in the slightest- we've got an abundance of reviewers here.
As it stands, I'm fully in agreement with reviewers contributing to the forum rather than just spamming it relentlessly and ignoring questions from interested parties. Vendors post their wares and pay for the privilege- the least we can ask from external reviewers is that they repay the forum by adding what will be invaluable advice to the community. YouTube reviewers, if you are reading this, contributing to the forum is only going to benefit yourselves, I know I'd much rather watch videos from reviewers that actually get stuck in.
